I had the flu

2007-11-10T16:21:00.001-08:00

It's Saturday, and a lot has happened since my first post. My intention was to post some goals this week so we can follow my progress, but I was side-lined with a 24 hour bug that lasted three days! I'm wondering if it's part of the process to be honest with you.

This month, November, our focus is health and spirituality. In general, I want to focus on my meditation (connection to my spirit), wear a size 6 (I'm starting from 10-12), eat to fuel my body (planning involved) and have a love affair with water. I have more detailed goals that I will post, but this is to give you an idea of what's in my mind. Having the flu I dropped 5 pounds - not a great way to do it, but I'm wearing my size 10s.

I want to go back to October because I've been going thru some changes that are just crazy. I can't believe things are happening so quickly, I mean REALLY. This challenge is working and in all honesty, I could be working it a lot harder. What I mean by that is, I've been kinda doing the minimum required of us. Skating you might say? I'm not slacking, just "getting by". After what happened to me today and last weekend it has become apparent to me the potential I have here in my hands. What the heck am I doing skating? Where will I be in Feb if I go all out? The sky is the limit! I am now going FULL THROTTLE. (hope I spelled that one correct).

So, October was our Financial portion of the program. I don't really know how to start talking about what's happening to me without boring you with a lot of background info so you understand. I've been having a lot of internal termoil in regards to my job the past two weeks. I posted my feelings on our message board and I got a huge response from so many of us explaining my angst and relating to it as well. Growing pains is the way I can describe it for myself - here is that post;

Should it get uncomfortable? 1 Week, 4 Days ago

John-For the last week I've been feeling a little upheaval and emotional. Is it possible that my internal change is creating kind of a struggle within me?To explain, I've been acting very "chick"ish. I don't mean that rudely to my fellow women, but I've been crying alot, very emotional. I'm trying to keep them in check because I know emotion is KEY to our NRP! It may be other things such as; I have had some issues with my little brother who I (foolishly) leased a car for last year, and now I have to take over the payments and I've got some credit dings. I feel a little betrayed by him which has NEVER happened before. I've been feeling very disconnected by my "team members" at work because of some other issues not related to me - I feel a little unimportant and I'm so used to being more of a leader. And (sorry for TMI) I am extreemly hormonal - I'm thinking I could be preganant. So, I'm feeling dis-combubulated like life is pulling me in a new direction. I think I'm scared to go down the path but I KNOW there is amazing treasure out there I feel it. Again, if this is working, is it possible to feel uncomfortable about the changes happening to us - I somehow feel like it should "feel" right. But I'm unsure. Am I doing something wrong - or am I just totally on the right track?

the part I highlighted in red is the important part for me today. Circumstances have come about that have lead me (as a realtor) to part from my team - a very safe and secure position I had - that I left to go on my own. The scary part is I'm totally responsible for myself - all my costs etc. That used to be taken care of - mostly. But as part of that team, I was not free to build my own business, I was building someone else's. This is a very large leap for me - but I'm so excited, because I know it's what I'm supposed to do to get me to the income level I want to be at - the doors are opening and although they are unknown, scary doors, I'm more excited than I've been in a long time about work. It's crazy. I'll tell you more later - don't want to bore......

Welcome

Welcome to me, welcome to you. This is my first attempt at a Blog - I hope it's helpful to us all. My name is Rebecca, I'm a realtor in Santa Clarita, CA - a suburb just north of the city of LA. I'm 35, married and a mother to a 2.5 year old son. Life is wonderful.

I became a part of the Having It All Challenge very quickly. The email came to me the day I was looking for something to take me to the next level of understanding about life. I'd love to "have it all" - I have a lot, but it can be overwhelming sometimes, and I was told here I would get the step by step instruction I was looking for - long term. This challenge will last six months (well at this point we are a month and a half into it) and I'm going to document the journey for me and for you.

Tonight I had my "Mastermind" call with my group - we are the teal group. That was my favorite color as a child - how cool I'm teal. What a great group of women. I think we have a man in our group but we haven't met him. It seems not everyone who has taken this challenge, is taking the challenge. That's OK. This month we are focusing on health and spirituality. We talked about some of our challenges together and made plans to email eachother the steps we are taking each day in the direction of meeting out goals. I'm so connected to these people already - and there are more people on the forums who just make it all flow. More on that later.

In the next few days I'm going to post (most of) my goals for the world to read - how scary. You can see how it all unfolds. Thanks for reading and here we go....
